The Goa Human Rights Commission (GHRC) has taken suo-motu cognizance of the seven-day eviction notice issued by Socorro Panchayat to the family of Allabhaksh Goususab Saiyydabade, arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a six-year old girl.
The Commission has accordingly issued notice to the panchayat secretary to be replied by January 6, 2026. The Secretary is required to remain present at the next hearing, either in person or through his representative.
The news of the accused being arrested for heinous crime had angered the residents, who demanded that the accused and his family be evicted from the area. Accordingly, the panchayat decided to serve a notice to Allabhaksh Saiyyadabade, asking him to vacate the house.
The notice posted on the house states: “You are hereby directed to vacate the premises as a precautionary measure to avoid any such untoward incident occurring where you and your family are residing in the premises at the 20 Point Programme at Socorro. You are, therefore, directed to vacate the premises within a period of seven days from the date of receipt of this notice, failing which strict action will be initiated against you and your family.”
The accused was engaged as a driver to pick up and drop children at school. On Sunday, a six-year-old girl disclosed to her parents about the sexual assault on her by Saiyyadabade. The parents filed a complaint with the Porvorim police.
The minor girl was examined at the GMC Hospital at Bambolim, where a medical officer confirmed that there was evidence of sexual assault on the victim.
Meanwhile, the Children's Court has extended the police custody of the accused by three more days. He was earlier remanded to four days police custody.
